    Ever had a brilliant idea at 2AM? No, seriously — a “change my life” kind of revelation? Yeah. Me too. Here’s a short list of things I was absolutely convinced would happen the next day: By the time the sun comes up, all those epiphanies just turn into vague memories sandwiched between dreams and delusion.
